LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The global
dental floss marketis projected to grow to USD 4,169.18
million by 2021, at a CAGR of more than 5% over the forecast period,
according to Technavio’s latest report.

In this report, Technavio
covers the market outlook and growth prospects of the global
dental floss market for 2017-2021. Based on the product type,
the market is divided into waxed floss and unwaxed floss segments.

Dental floss is essentially a thread, which removes food trapped
between teeth and removes the film of bacteria that forms there before
it has a chance to harden into plaque. The increased interest among
consumers in adopting preventive healthcare measures is one of the key
driving factors of the global dental floss market.

Technavio’s research study segments the global dental floss market into
the following regions:

Americas

EMEA

APAC

Dental floss market in the Americas

“The Americas dominated the dental floss market in 2016, holding
close to 50% of the overall shares. The market dominance is set to
continue, owing to increased dentist recommendations and increased
attention towards oral hygiene,” says Krishna Venkataramani, a
lead analyst at Technavio for health
and wellness research.

The dominance of the Americas is majorly due to the high awareness and
accessibility of the dental floss in countries such as the US.
Furthermore, with the rise in disposable income, the demand for improved
oral care products like mouthwash, dental floss, denture care, and
whitening strips have increased.

Dental floss market in EMEA

The dental floss market in EMEA is projected to be worth USD 1009.22
million by 2021, driven by the growing awareness among consumers
regarding the importance and benefits of flossing. Also, dental
regulatory bodies such as National Health Service (NHS), British Dental
Association (BDA), and European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) are
recommending dental floss in national health policies as an effective
measure for not just good oral health but overall general well-being.
Also, the largely untapped markets in the Middle East and Africa pose a
huge opportunity for vendors to run successful marketing campaigns and
increase their shares.

Dental floss market in APAC

“The dental floss market in APAC is one of the fastest-growing
segments of the global market. India and China are lucrative markets for
the vendors, with high economic growth, changing lifestyles, and
increased spending driving the market growth,” says Krishna.

The APAC market is being aggressively pursued by leading vendors as
hotspots to increase awareness surrounding the importance of oral
health, thereby increasing the revenue generated from the regional
segment. Increasing awareness regarding oral hygiene and increasing
disposable income are also some of the drivers in this region.
